The presentation of subjects of current biological interest, based largely upon various aspects of the animal life of Berkeley and the bay region, particularly of the vertebrates and certain marine animals. Lectures, reports, and museum and field study.

1 hr., second half-year; 1 unit. M, 4. Without prerequisite. Open to the public.

20. Some Ethical and Education Problems viewed Biologically.

Professor RITTER. The course consists in an effort to apply the biological conception of "organismal integrity" or the "organism as a whole" to some of the central questions with which men under modern civilization are struggling.

GRADUATE COURSES

222A-222B. Journal Club. Assistant Professor DANIEL. The instructors and advanced students hold weekly meetings, at which reports are made on the research work of members of the zoological staff, and on important current papers, followed by informal discussions. Although all are welcome to the meetings, the membership is restricted to students doing advanced special work. Students who wish to become active members should consult Professor DANIEL.

1 hr., throughout the year; 1 unit each half-year.

223. Teachers' Course.

Associate Professor HOLMES.

Aims, methods, and subject matter of zoological instruction in the schools.

RESEARCH COURSES

Original study on special topics, in the field, laboratory, and museum. The work may be carried on in the laboratories at Berkeley or at the San Diego station at any season of the year.

225A-225B. Research.

Professor RITTER (Scripps Institution for Biological Research at La Jolla).

Problems in marine biology, especially those in marine ecology; morphology of the higher invertebrates; biometry and the philosophical aspects of zoology.

226A-226B. Research.

Associate Professor HOLMES. Experimental zoology. Problems in experimental study of evolution.

The work done during the last few years on the marine invertebrate fauna of the Pacific Coast has served to reveal more and more clearly the richness of the opportunities, in many respects unique, here afforded for making important contributions to zoological science.

The museum collections are all accessible to students pursuing advanced studies, and are particularly valuable to those pursuing investigation in marine zoology. The California Museum of Vertebrate Zoology, the gift of Miss A. M. Alexander, affords exceptional opportunities for investigation in the field of systematic vertebrate zoology and geographical distribution.

The results of studies carried sufficiently far to make them distinctly contributions to the science may be published in the University of California Publications in Zoology (volume 14, in progress).

The San Diego Marine Biological Station, now incorporated in the Scripps Institution for Biological Research located at La Jolla, is equipped with a new building containing laboratories, aquaria, apparatus, and a working library, and with a sea-going vessel, the "Alexander Agassiz." The station is open throughout the year and work carried on in its laboratories under the direction of members of the staff by registered students receives University credit. Residence at the station may be counted as residence at the University.
